How it works the editorial way

and alwaysSend tips, quotes and news. Members who add to the buzz get more of it.
The four features
Within 3 business days of your BUZZZ link going live, four pages are published about you across at least two BUZZZ publishers. Each takes its own angle: a profile, a story about what you offer, a piece on your expertise, or a local angle. An editor approves every one before it publishes, and each carries the line "Featured through BUZZZ membership."
After that, you are mentioned whenever a story genuinely fits your work. There are no link lists, sponsored boxes or automatic insertions: if a mention doesn't serve the reader, it isn't written.
Your press page
Every member gets a page at buzzzweb.com that lists their coverage and updates itself. The small BUZZZ link in your footer leads there, so a click from your own website lands on your own press, not somewhere else.
Add to the buzz
Membership is complete on day one. If you want more, send quotes, tips, news and corrections from your member area, share your coverage, or nominate a business you admire. When several members fit a story equally well, the ones who add to the buzz come first.
Honest links
Links that exist because of membership (your footer badge, your press page, your onboarding features) are marked nofollow. Coverage involving a product or service you provided is marked sponsored and says so. Links in stories chosen on their merits are ordinary editorial links.
